can't attach files with Safari

Hello.tell me please, I have to download macOS Big Sur? I unchecked safari 14 as you told and now it s mentioned that macOS big sur will be installed.Is it right or delete and not to proceed? Waiting for your answer. Another question: what is best? to have the box for automatic upgrade checked or not?thanks

Hi rodos2020

If you don't want to upgrade to BigSur then don't, just ignore that update suggestion.

n my case I have an older machine that cannot take Big Sur, the only option I'm given is catalina and I choose to ignore that for the time being (I have 32 bit apps - 32 bit apps are not supported in catalina or Big Sur)

Similarly I choose not to have the box for automatic updates checked. I want the control, but it does mean that I manually look for "other updates" regularly, and install them as needed (and usually do),

hope that helps

Just to update the group - I have tried the Safari Version 14.0.2 (14610.3.7.1.10) update and the problem is still present, so best to stick with the steps provided by remlub101 for now and revert back to an earlier version.

Hello Ticki59, I can assure you this issue is not resolved on either of my Macs using the identical versions of Safari and Gmail.

I have explored the issue, system refreshes and to date I am unable to attach files and/or photos using Gmail file attach or photo attach either as a file or inline. I have also checked with another user using the same specs and the results are the same at this time. Hopefully this issue will resolve as part of a rollout (?).

Safari (Mojave 10.14.6.) will not allow me to attach files through Gmail or Yahoo or Comcast with the paper clip icon. This problem first occurred in January 2021

I do not have this problem when using Chrome.

I also have and had this problem for months.

Apple has been notified and I believe the number of people discussing the issue more than indicates a systemic problem even though many have claimed/advised it has been fixed.

Glad to hear of your ability in Yahoo and WeTransfer (not familiar with the product).

As a long time Apple user I use Safari and Apple Mail. Not the most attractive email product I do like the safety albeit there are certainly no guarantees.

Having to move to a new browser of any type seems not only an arduous task but also one that should not be a necessity.

It does appear others as well as you are having luck so I keep my fingers crossed in the hope the fix goes systemwide. There is large world of users suffering the same issue. Apple should be working on this problem a bit more diligently than its current pace.

Considering Apple is consistently adding security measures and promoting Safari as it does, this issue should be on the high priority level.

Being hacked once on Yahoo I shy away completely.

Thanks for the info Dominic.

Bummed it did not work for me.

Frustrating.

Cheers/Be Safe

Leave feedback on this to Apple, as I mentioned above.

"No. I reported problem as bug. Thanks."

Followed steps. No resolve.
